Minister Willingmann (SPD) has finally found the philosopher’s stone in the Harz – entirely without a ministry


One has to acknowledge it without envy: Prof. Dr. Armin Willingmann (SPD) has achieved what generations of philosophers, economists, and politicians have failed to do.



Quietly and almost casually, he announces in a Facebook clip an insight that eclipses everything that has come before – and of all places, on the way to the Brocken.


At first, still modest in tone:
“I live in Wernigerode. That’s why I’m familiar with it. I also know the path up to the Brocken.”
You immediately notice: this is no ordinary minister speaking. This is a man of practice. Someone who knows the paths. And possibly also the solutions.

Because then follows—one might almost say—the revelation:
“We let the national park be a national park, and we let the forest develop there on its own.”
Brilliant. Truly brilliant. For decades, people believed that politics had to shape, steer, intervene, regulate, direct. Billions were moved, programs launched, strategies written, regulations issued. And now it turns out: one could have simply left it alone.

But Willingmann goes even further. He thinks radically—almost revolutionarily:
“If he [the human] does not fight the bark beetle. If he does not try in any way to maintain an artificial structure.”
This is a great school of thought. Artificial structures? Away with them! Interventions? Better not! One can’t help but wonder why this insight was not transferred earlier to other areas.

For example, to the economy. Or demographic development. Or the endless programs with which Saxony-Anhalt has been trying for decades to regulate growth into existence.

Perhaps the solution would have been so simple: lower taxes, remove levies, abolish regulations—and just see what happens. Just like in the forest.

Instead, for decades the exact opposite has been done with admirable consistency: ever more rules, ever more interventions, ever more “artificial structures.” With the well-known result: limited dynamism, ongoing outmigration, an economy defined more by subsidy logic than by its own strength.

But well—you can’t recognize everything at once.

All the more impressive is the minister’s closing sentence:
“The annoying thing is that such a forest transformation takes about 30 to 40 years. But it does happen.”
Here again, that striking clarity. Things take time, but things do happen. Entirely without a master plan. Entirely without a ministerial decree. One almost wants to applaud.

And one wonders: isn’t this the real sensation? That a leading politician publicly states what his own profession has ignored for decades?

Perhaps we are witnessing a historic moment here. The birth of a new political school: do less, let more happen—though only after everything has first been thoroughly overregulated.

The philosopher’s stone in the Harz? Possible. Ironically found precisely where it was decided to finally do nothing.

One can be curious to see whether this groundbreaking insight will find its way into other policy areas as well. Or whether it will—like so many good ideas—remain safely in the forest.
